On the higher platform the eastern area of this Buddhist complex exists, which has marks of numerous ancient ruined structures, which were explored by the Archaeological Survey of India.
Towards the South of the temple 45 Monastery 44, is located and it was built at the same time as Temple 45 was built. It appears from the nature of its foundations to have been a small shrine of somewhat uncommon type. Its masonry can be assigned to the 13th Century. The eastern wall, is buried under the perimeter wall of the complex. It consisted of a porch, a rectangular hall behind it containing the remnants of a surface probably a Stupa was built in its centre. On either side of the hall are foundations which seem to indicate that a row of small chambers was built above them for housing the images. It was built on a raised platform which was ascended by a flight of steps in the middle of its western side. Its walls are constructed of the local purplish stone.
In the rectangular hall stand three images of the same purplish-brown stone—two of the Buddha in the dhyana-mudra, the third of Maitreya seated in western fashion. These images might have been placed particularly in this Monastery.
It’s an attraction for the history buffs and for those who are interested in ancient architecture and planning.
